On Thursday (March 26), V took to Instagram to share a video of Kobe discussing his love of coaching their 13-year-old daughter Gianna on the basketball court.

“She started out playing soccer, which is one of my favorite sports as well,” the former NBA star said in the clip. “But then, when she asked about learning the game of basketball, I started teaching her piece by piece, and she started enjoying it and loving it and now she plays every day.”

“It’s been a joy to watch her grow and to be there every day for that process,” Kobe continued. “Her temperament is a lot like mine. She’s extremely competitive, very fiery, and backs down from no challenge.” He added that Gianna is “a good mix of me and good mix of her mama, so that makes her even more competitive than I am.”

In addition to the tribute video, Vanessa shared a photo of her with daughter Natalia alongside Kobe's sister and nieces as they showed off the logos on their sweatshirts. "👑🐍#queenmamba 🐍," she captioned the photo.
